I am constantly catching my villagers congregating like that. All I can do is laugh 'cause it reminds me of when my kids were little and I told them to clean their rooms. They worked as long as I was in the room, but the moment I left they started to play. As soon as I walked back in to check on them I would see them scramble to start cleaning again. (Of course with that innocent angelic look on their faces!)

Fawn
